Neutrophils
Neutrophils are a type of white blood cell and the body's first line of defence against infection. They are the most abundant white blood cell. They trap and ingest invading bacteria and microorganisms, and they start the process of repairing tissue.
Why it matters: A low neutrophil count is called neutropenia and a high count neutrophilia. Both can put a person at risk of certain health conditions.
